The silly puppy Biscuit is back in this Shared First Reader for children in grades preK-1.    Biscuit’s owner has plans to build a snow fort for her friends.  Biscuit looks like a helper with digging, “woof, woof” and finding the sleds “woof, woof”, but really Biscuit wants to go down the hill in a sled.  The layout provides a large font, 2-3 simple sentences and plenty of white space.  New readers will be successful due to the repeated “woof, woof” and the details of the illustrations.  Biscuit’s owner presents as white, but her group of friends represents a mix of cultures.
